Changing the game: Real Dealer Studios set to bring the thrill and realism of live casino
Real Dealer Studios, a new game development studio focused on bringing an entirely new kind of experience to the world of online gaming, is set to debut its first revolutionary game at ICE London from 4-6 February 2020.
Founded on a single, bold notion – that moviemaking magic can take the online casino to the next level – the studio creates immersive, tailor-made casino products of superior visual and sound quality that combine the thrill and realism of live casino. Working with experienced film industry professionals, the studio employs the very best dealers, equipment and cinematography to create engagingly realistic dealer-hosted RNG games. Whether it’s a premiere, a sequel or a remake of an old classic, they are dedicated to ensuring that every entertaining release is of blockbuster quality.
“Compared with others in the games industry, our studio is definitely an outlier. That’s our edge. Just like the products we make, we’ve got one foot in the world of iGaming and the other in filmmaking. That mix gives us a fresh take on how things should be done and what new possibilities can be explored,” said Jose Micallef, Sales Manager at Real Dealer Studios.
“We are committed to bringing an entirely new kind of experience to the world of online gaming that offers operators a distinct competitive advantage in today’s market. Our roadmap involves applying our concept to all the traditional table games. We’ve now established the strong beginnings of a roulette portfolio, with baccarat, blackjack and other headline games to be released in the coming months. We are excited to reveal our first innovative game at ICE London 2020.”
Driven by a passion to create never-before-seen gaming experiences, Real Dealer Studios comprises talent from 13 nations spanning five continents. The studio has a range of unique and diverse working styles shared across the team, which is dedicated to delivering truly cutting-edge gaming technology. In addition to the designers, developers and quality assurance specialists typically found in a game studio, the team also has a strong contingent of video production hotshots, including directors, camera operators, editors and the like.
Welcoming players to a new era of casino gameplay, Real Dealer Studios will be rolling out its pioneering genre of games from this year onwards. The team is set to showcase the first of its creations and capabilities on its dedicated stand (MS5) at ICE London 2020.
Midnite has agreed a partnership with Middlesbrough FC that will see the UK bookmaker become the club’s principal partner and front-of-shirt sponsor for the 2026/27 campaign, which Middlesbrough describes as its landmark 150th season.
The companies announced the deal alongside a fan activation at Riverside Stadium on Thursday, July 9, branded “This Season’s On Us”. The initiative offered supporters prizes including 2026/27 season tickets, 2026/27 shirts, match tickets, or a £25 club shop voucher, with fans required to answer Middlesbrough trivia and complete a football challenge.
Middlesbrough former players Craig Hignett and David Wheater attended the event, and, according to the company, took bonus attempts on behalf of participants who missed out.
Andrew Mook, Midnite’s Head of Brand Marketing, said:
“Middlesbrough have a storied history and we’re delighted to announce this partnership during such a monumental year with the club celebrating their 150th anniversary.
“It was great to see so many Middlesbrough fans at the “This Season’s On Us” activation, we hope they enjoyed taking part and meeting club legends, with David Wheater hitting top bins on several occasions and allowing fans to win big with season tickets.
“We can’t wait to get to Riverside Stadium in August to kick-off a new season and we’re excited to say that we have plenty of new and captivating campaigns planned.”
Lee Fryett, Middlesbrough FC Chief Commercial Officer, added:
“We’re delighted to welcome Midnite as our new Principal Partner.
“We’re looking forward to working closely with Midnite to develop engaging campaigns, content and unique experiences that bring our fans even closer to the club.
“We’re confident this partnership will provide real value for our supporters while supporting our ambitions both on and off the pitch.”

ThrillTech has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to launch in Ontario’s regulated market.
The licence allows ThrillTech to deploy its opt-in side bet jackpots technology with regulated online casino, sports betting and lottery operators across the province.
Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”
The company said its “ThrillPots” mechanics sit as an independent, player-funded side bet and do not alter the underlying game’s return-to-player mathematics.
ThrillTech said the Ontario approval enables its existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to launch its side bet jackpots locally, while it also holds talks with potential new operator partners. The company lists its regulated footprint as including the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil and Peru.

The company said its ThrillPots product lets operators add player-funded, opt-in side-bet jackpots on top of existing games, without changing gameplay or the underlying return-to-player (RTP) calculations. ThrillTech positions the mechanic as a way to drive incremental engagement and revenue.
ThrillTech said the Ontario licence enables existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to roll out ThrillTech-powered jackpots locally, and added it is in discussions with potential new operator partners. The company listed other regulated jurisdictions it serves as the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil, and Peru.
